We had showed up for an early dinner (with a reservation) and were seated immediately. We had appetizers and drinks and none of it disappointed. In fact, I’ll be dreaming about their gnocchi Mac n Cheese for days to come. The Oysters were delicious and fresh and the drinks were strong and tasty!

Overall food was good but nothing great – however its a satisfactory meal. Service was pleasant and attentive. Food quality was also good. The patio is quite nice and we would recommend it.

Sarah, the bartender at our recent outing, was an absolute gem. Her impeccable service and exceptional banter elevated our night to unforgettable heights. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile :), setting the tone for the evening.

AMAZING! Took forever to get a ride out from Fenway after the game, so dove in…Oysters, deeeelish! Met a local cool couple having a good ole date night, next thing you know….the WHISKEY FLIGHT was in the air! Couldn’t remember the breed, but boy was it good! They mix it up, three choices, and I must say they were delicious. Service, FAST AND CLEAN!

Sat at the bar and Jimmy the bartender is phenomenal!!! With a fully packed bar he continuously checked in with us to reorder drinks and tour guide entrees. Hard to find boston bartenders who have both skill and high service quality. Extremely welcoming service overall. Drinks and dinner were top notch, but honestly the bartender is the reason I’ll be coming back to try more of the huge whiskey selection.

We had a great experience in here. I especially recommend mussel, salad and risotto. Of course other things were awesome too, but the best thing was smoked mussel. Must have to try them. One thing that could have been better was the pork Tenderloin. The sauce wasn’t really my type. Also what was great was that they gave the 6 of us free green tea shots in preparing for thanksgiving which was awesome!

The food was some of the best I’ve had in a while and reasonably priced. We got the tasting plate and the oysters were fantastic and so fresh. The cod loin was perfectly cooked and light, and paired well with the greens. Simply delicious. Also the mango sour was mixed perfectly with the right amount of whiskey. The service was great and we were well taken care of. Will definitely come again!
